All The Kingdoms

there’s Son

there’s a Father

there’s an enemy and

there’s a desert

there’s the Father’s promise

“ask of me and

I will make the nations Your inheritance and

the ends of the earth Your possession.”

there’s the enemy’s promise

“all this, all the kingdoms of the world and their splendour

I will give you

if you will bow down and worship me.”

the question isn’t whether

the Son gets the nations, the ends of the earth

and all the kingdoms of the world

make no mistake, they will be His

the question is not “if”

but “how”

how will He build the Kingdom?

how will He redeem the world?

“ask Me, “ says the Father

and He will give all the kingdoms to the Son

but the cross stands in His path

“worship me,” says the enemy

and he will give all the kingdoms to the Son

and he takes the cross off the table

the Son

asks the Father and

embraces the cross
